Easy Content Lightbox adds lightbox functionality to all images using GLightbox
Easy Content Lightbox Pro automatically adds the lightbox functionality to all images of the loaded pages. You have several exclusion options to exclude specific images or pages from being processed by the plugin to avoid issues with other JavaScript libraries.
The plugin uses GLightbox, a pure JavaScript lightbox library, to load the images in a lightbox. You may display the title of the image in the lightbox. The plugin extracts the title from the title attribute of the img-tag.
With the custom CSS option, you can add a custom CSS class to the lightbox link. Use this option to customise the lightbox with individual CSS instructions.
You may turn off the automatic adding process in editor mode, for specific components or signed-in users.
